Checking against GA criteria edit

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    The next several chapters relate to the isnād, or chain of narration. Poor prose, "next several" is ungrammatical.
    A number of subsequent scholars followed Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ in the ordering of his book, from them: "from them"? Do you mean amongst them?
    From the scholars who spoke highly of the Introduction are: Again mis-use of "from"
    From the numerous editions of the Introduction in its original Arabic are two of the more reliable:[ and again
    There are several bulleted lists, these need turning into prose, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (embedded lists)   Not done
    There are still several lists remaining. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    I assume good faith for all sources which are off-line
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    What is the relevance of the image File:Arab. Ms.JPG? It appears to be just a sample of arabic script and thus contrary to policy, see Wikipedia:Images#Pertinence and encyclopedic nature
    There has been no response to this point. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    OK, on hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Well there have been a few improvements but two important points remain outstanding so I am not listing this at this time. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
